    @MSWindowsUser
    if you use rollups, then continue with rollups
    if you use security-only, then continue with it

    @PC_Uzaarr
    we cannot predict the future

    edit:
    ESU eligibility validation for Embedded is diffrent than normal client
    IFEO BypassESU.dll will mostly work until 2023
    slc.dll will never work for Embedded

    If that's the case, then tell me which category I'm in. I'm honestly not that fluent when it to this kind of stuff. I just make sure that the computer I use is up to date with operating system updates.

    I give you an example.
    You have KB4534310 installed (look at 2nd screenshot). Google this one and you'll see it's the monthly rollup update (it's also stated in your 2nd screenshot!)

    now you know

    OK, then. Thank you for helping me to figure out that issue.

    Honestly, at first, when I looked at both the Installed Updates & Update History, looking at the titles in Installed Updates (some said "Security Update", while others just said "Update"), as well as when I saw "Security" in the titles (in Update History, specifically) for some (like "Security Monthly Quality Rollup"), I thought maybe that meant that I was in the "Security-only" group.

    So, what I'm wondering is: are there certain versions of Windows 7 that only receive "Security-only" Windows Updates?

    if you don't mind telemetry that's up to you; lots of windows 7 users want to limit telemetry and data collection as much as possible and don't want the rollups because of that

    Oh. I did not know that that is the reason Microsoft puts out the two updates a month it does for Windows users.

    will work with W7 Basic?

    Edit:

    When launching .bat file its Addin File process on Windows32/ that gives "Access blocked/denied". What I launch .bat file with admin rights though.

    Well, from what I'm aware of in the thread, as long as you've installed the 2 SHA2 prereqs, as well as the latest servicing stack update, you then unzip the zip file for the latest version of the bypass to a simple path (I unzipped the zip file to a folder on my computer's main partition). Next, you go into the folder you've unzipped everything to and look for the .bat file marked as "Installer". Right-click on that .bat "Installer" file, and select "Run as admin" (or whatever the wording may be). If a windows pops up asking if you want to run the installer, you click on yes. Then, you wait while it does what it's supposed to. Once it says press any key to exit, press any key. I don't know whether or not we're supposed to re-start the computer after running the installer, but I did just to be on the safe side. Then, if you re-start, once the desktop is done loading, double click on the file for the test update. Windows Update will look for the file on the computer, when it finds it, click whatever button to have Windows Update install the test update. Should you eventually get to the point where it states the installation is complete, then that means you correctly installed the bypass.

    @abbodi1406 Thank you for the information. I hope you & your team can keep POSReady 7 going until 2024, if you find it worthwhile to do.
